So, (with doctor approval) I have been attempting to go off my anti-anxiety meds, because of the side effects.  (I get sort of flat feeling, don't care about anything very much, which at the time, I don't care about, but it's sort of intellectually scary.)  However, I'm really getting anxious, and it's not useful.  I can't focus, I can't hold still

Oh, I get that. Have you thought about some of the non-medicine methods? A friend of mine has really very bad anxiety, and believe it or not, she has to carry a smallish paper bag around to breathe through. Something about the seriously focusing on the breathing helps.

I've taken a couple different anti-anxiety meds -- what I'm on right now is citalopram, but only 20 mgs at bedtime.

In any case, I am here if you need me.

I'm just sending a big ol' hug since it's all I got.
